After years of toing and froing looking for the perfect solution which fitted my needs of more power, ease of conversion, fit within Swedish regulations and budget.

As some of you may have noticed I have posed numerous questions regarding a 7 port head with rule injection, the more knowledgeable of you pointed out the issues I would have with emissions by using a cam which suited the engine. Therefore I would needed to have made a compromise with my choice of cam,

I also looked at various engine swaps, Suzuki, Micra and Honda. These appear superb, but I felt a little beyond my mechanical competences. Also I wasn't prepared to have the car off the road for too long.

Next up I considered the bike conversions, i almost bit the bullet and went for the AElynx kit. These conversions appeared a lithe too brutal for how I want the car to be.

Cylinder Head
- Cam wise - I meant to ask SC which cams cam with the kit LT or RS. Depending on emissions I would like the RS cams. I need to confirm this
- I have asked SC to machine and add a standard mini oil cap into the head

Colour (the most important part)
- Block painted black and head painted dark grey.

All comments welcome

Hi! I wonder what the limitations are according to the swedish rules? I myself are looking in to getting a mini and want to do an engine swap. All that I know about is the 200hp/ 1000kg, but are there more?

Lots of things it seems. I really struggled with the rules etc. the age of car seems to dictate a lot of things, not least emissions and if you need to maintain a cat etc. You will need to upgrade brakes. lots of stuff on SFRO.se
